A Genuine Castle in Washington State!

As one of the few genuine private castles in the United States, Thornewood is not only a world-class historic site. It's also our home, a magnificent location for Seattle/Tacoma weddings and receptions, and the most romantic bed and breakfast in Washington State.

A Unique History

With a history that is deeply rooted in both English and American history, Thornewood is truly unique. A century ago, pieces from a 400-year-old English castle were taken from England and brought to the Pacific Northwest. These pieces were used to completely rebuild and recreate an authentic traditional English Tudor Gothic castle right here in America. At Thornewood, you can visit a true piece of England without leaving the United States.
